Defringe Selections
Today’s post would be
considered Part 2 of Replacing the Sky and can also be used when or if you
replace backgrounds.
Defringing selections is a “must
do” for natural looking composites. The fringe on your selections can be a dead
giveaway, so get rid of it. You’ll want to Defringe your selection to remove
the white edges when replacing skies and/or backgrounds, which gives away the
fact that you’ve done something to the photo.
Here’s how to get rid of
fringe…
On the picture layer Ctrl +
click, this put a selection around the person or object. Then on the menu bar
Select > Modify > Contract > Contract by 1 pixel to start. Next,
Select > Inverse – this selects everything including the white fringe but
not the person or object. Then click delete, this removes the white fringe;
when you’re done Select > Deselect to remove the marching ants.
Now the Selection Edges look
good!
Be Blessed and be a blessing!
